Chapter 6170
Everyone froze, then gazed deeply at Harvey.
A single bead cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, after all.
‘This kept man doesn’t even know how to count that many zeroes!
‘He’s getting something this expensive just to not sit with us!
‘He’s definitely benefiting from this, but this is just embarrassing!’
Mandy’s face darkened.
Before she could lash out, Harvey had already spoken up.
“Forget it. It’s just a bead from a roadside stall that costs a dollar. I don’t need something like that.”
Everyone went dead silent, and their expressions turned odd.
“What do you mean by that?!”
Anne showed a horrible expression.
“You’re Mandy’s ex-husband, but you don’t even have the right to come in contact with people in our circle!
“How dare you insult Young Master Reggie’s gifts like that? Other than making us hate you even more, what else can you do?!”
Mandy froze; she was holding the priceless Nine Eyed Beads in her bag.
Thinking closely, the so-called Nine Eyed Beads Reggie gave felt different to the touch compared to the ones she had.
“You’re saying that I’m fooling everyone with fake goods?”
Reggie chuckled coldly, finally revealing his true colors.
“Let me tell you something! I’ll give you a chance to apologize out of respect for Mandy! Kneel!
“If not… Then don’t even think of expanding here. If I say the word, you won’t even get any change for food! I guarantee it!”
Reggie showed a prideful expression; he talked as if Wolsing revolved around him, like he was king.
Mandy frowned. “Harvey didn’t mean that, Young Master Reggie.”
“People should admit to their faults, Ms. Mandy!” Anne yelled, infuriated.
“Even if he’s your kept man, you can’t keep protecting him like this!
“Harvey, you better take accountability if you’re a real man!
“Grovel in front of Young Master Reggie as an apology! Now!
“If not, you won’t be able to handle the consequences!
“Even if you don’t think for yourself, at least do it for Mandy!”
Everyone looked at Harvey mockingly, thinking that he was just an ignorant kept man trying to please the crowd.
However, Harvey had no intention of kneeling at all. He grabbed Mandy’s pink bead, and started to speak.
“There aren’t even a hundred of these beads, and most of them are either owned by collectors or sects.
“It’d be hard to see something like this outside!
“I heard that the elderly of the top ten families would have to make huge sacrifices just to get even one Eyed Bead.
“And yet, you’re treating it like a toy that you can get at any moment.
“You’re saying that this is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars?”
Harvey chuckled.
“I also heard that Formosa has a lot of man-made beads like these.
“Big pieces of agate would be cut down and engraved, then pickled with chemicals.
“You’d probably get skin cancer if you play with this long enough, let alone wear it.”
